Today, we took Mimi to lunch for her birthday. Before lunch, Mimi opened her presents, which included some jewelry from her girls, a picture from her granddaughter, and a keepsake book that Courtney put together of 60 reasons why we love our Mom. We each contributed a story or memory. It was a really beautiful idea...Mom cried when she read it. I have to admit, I cried when I wrote some of the memories. We laughed at some of the stories as well - like the one from when I was in the 1st grade and drew a picture of my mom kicking me down the stairs and a caption under the picture that read "I don't like when my mommy kicks me down the stairs." Hey - I was a very happy six year old!!! When the teacher told us to draw something we didn't like, it was the only thing I could think I wouldn't like!!! Fortunately my mom was friends with my teacher and knew I was a "creative" child, so CPS wasn't called. :)
After gifts, we went to Scenic Loop Cafe and had a fantastic lunch! They have a wonderful breakfast buffet. We sat outside so Demí was very content looking at the waterfall and the children playing. It was a really nice day!

YAY! Present time!
Demí was excited that Mimi liked her present.
Hey! That's me in that picture!!!
